Grammy-winning Nigerian singer, Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, has subtly referred to fellow artist Davido as a “joke” during a social media exchange. The incident unfolded when a Davido fan, using the DMW boss as their display picture, called Burna Boy an “ode” for losing four Grammys recently.

Responding to the comment under a post on Burna Boy’s X handle, the Afro-fusion artist retorted, “The actual joke is in your display pic.” Following this, Burna Boy deleted his comment after the fan changed their display picture from Davido to Burna Boy’s ‘African Giant’ album cover.

When another fan questioned Burna Boy about deleting his comment, suggesting he couldn’t handle criticism, Burna Boy clarified that he removed the comment because the troll changed their display picture.

Despite the deletion, Burna Boy’s comment has sparked backlash on social media, with some criticizing the artist’s response as immature and unnecessary. The exchange has reignited discussions about the perceived rivalry between Burna Boy and Davido, with fans expressing varied opinions on the matter.
